Zachary had already left, and it was too late for her to return to the hotel alone, so she pretended to be asleep. There mit have been other reasons, but she didn't want to delve into them. She responded coolly, "Yes, any problem with that?"

"Aveline, you deceived me and took a free ride back, and this is how you repay me?" Lucas was nearly laughing in frustration.
